JESSY, by ROBERT BURNS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Here's a health to ane I lo'e dear Last Line: Here's a health, &c. | |||
Here's a health to ane I loe dear, Here's a health to ane I loe dear; Thou art sweet as the smile when fond lovers meet, And soft as their parting tear -- Jessy. Altho' thou maun never be mine, Altho' even hope is denied; 'Tis sweeter for thee despairing, Than ought in the world beside -- Jessy. Here's a health, &c. I mourn thro' the gay, gaudy day, As hopeless I muse on thy charms; But welcome the dream o' sweet slumber, For then I am lockt in thine arms -- Jessy. Here's a health, &c. I guess by the dear angel smile, I guess by the love-rolling e'e; But why urge the tender confession, 'Gainst Fortune's fell, cruel decree? -- Jessy.
